Lake Travis Local: Lori Cooper with Woof and Purr

Written by Todd Hower | October 20, 2015

Woof and Purr
It’s hard to fool your pets. They have a wonderful sense of knowing when you’re about to leave them alone. And somehow they know if you’re leaving them for a few hours or the whole day.

They definitely know what’s up when the suitcase comes out and you’re leaving for a vacation without them … and they don’t like it (except for maybe a few of the cats out there).

Fortunately, for all of us pet lovers and owners, we have locals like Lori Cooper to give our dogs and cats the extra love and potty breaks they need when we’re away from home.

If you know Lori, you know she has a passion for pets and for the Lake Travis community. There’s a good chance you’ve seen Lori in the neighborhood walking doggies, at a LT football game under the Friday night lights, or hanging out at The Grove in Lakeway — one of her favorite restaurants.

Lake Travis locals, meet Lori Cooper, owner of Woof and Purr — providing a loving substitution while you are away …

“I used to work in Sierra Nevada guiding mountain bike tours. For fun on a day off, I was riding in Kings Canyon in November when the road was closed. At the bottom of the canyon I got an unrepairable flat and had to ride out about 20 miles and 3000 vertical feet on a front wheel without a tire. I made it to the post office and they gave me some soup.”

Lake Travis Lifestyle Day Trip to One of the Littlest Towns in Texas: Luckenbach

Written by Mandy Spivey | October 19, 2015

Welcome to Luckenbach

Some places I visit in Texas feel like such a time warp. In my travels as a writer, I get to see all types of towns in Texas, each of them with their own unique flair and history.

One of the coolest places on the map in my book is Luckenbach, Texas. Just a short and scenic drive out in Fredericksburg’s direction, this tiny cowpoke town, with a recorded population of 3, attracts some of the biggest voices in country from around the Hill Country.

Having an appreciation for country music will get you further around these parts, where names like Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson have graced the stage for guitar and singing performances. Those are the famed nights that locals remember, memories that echo in the walls of the well-waxed dance hall that now houses weekend acts.

Located 13 miles from Fredericksburg, south of U.S. Highway 290 and on the south side of RM 1376, this site, once known for being a Comanche trading post, now serves as the Hill Country’s exclusive hideaway for music lovers and those looking to get away from the glittering city lights for an evening.
